Imagine That: The Lost Recordings 1954-1963

Imagine That: The Lost Recordings (1954-1963) gathers unreleased performances of legendary country singer Patsy Cline. Though some have traded as bootlegs, all tracks are officially available in this collection and presented for the first time on vinyl. Expertly curated by discographer George Hewitt, this release provides a comprehensive selection of both rare cuts and live versions of chart hits. Introducing 15 new songs, such as “The Wrong Side of Town” and “Old Lonesome Time,” this marks the first new release of a Patsy Cline album in 13 years and is fully endorsed by the Patsy Cline Estate. Presented in loose chronology, this set traces the evolution of Patsy's artistry from regional beginnings as a featured vocalist with Bill Peer's Melody Boys in 1954 to hosting radio shows as a national headliner by 1963. Every period of Patsy's storied career is represented in the tracklist and the book features insights and commentary on the music, the production, the era, and Patsy. Of special note, this collection offers the long sought “missing middle” by including many recordings from the pivotal year of 1959. Then a proud young mother, Patsy relocated to Nashville and soon after joined the cast of the Grand Ole Opry. A string of timeless hit records followed for posterity. This limited and numbered 2 LP set is pressed on 180g vinyl and released for Record Store Day 2025. TracklistSIDE A:1. A Long, Long Ride2. The Wrong Side of Town3. I’ve Loved and Lost Again4.
